leave me

oh leave me

my love

you cannot reach me

in the coldness of your heart

you cannot touch me

for your eyes have died

in the chill of your soul

love me

oh love me

my dear

trying to ignite a flame

in your clouded life

telling you a thousand stories

to eliminate my pain

so very far from me

take me

oh take me

my love

your body now closer to mine

and cold as your skin is

your touch makes me burn

your child I am bearing

and still you’re so far

I die

oh my love

would you die for me

perhaps to better understand this poem:I wrote it while thinking of Sherazade in 1001 nights
